Jakarta Activation Specification project

Jakarta Activation

Jakarta Activation lets you take advantage of standard services to: determine the type of arbitrary piece of data; encapsulate access to it; discover the operations available on it; and instantiate the appropriate bean to perform the operation(s).

IMPORTANT: Implementation of the Jakarta Activation API, aka JakartaActivation (formerly JavaActivation), is no longer part of this repository. As part of breaking tight integration between Jakarta Activation API and the implementation, implementation sources were moved to the new project - Eclipse Angus - and further development continues there. Eclipse Angus is direct accessor of JavaActivation/JakartaActivation.
